Also, I love that the Braves signed fukking Nick Markakis (who needs NECK SURGERY) to a 4-year deal during an off-season in which they're apparently starting a rebuild phase.

For my Braves brehs who are disappointed with the moves so far, what did yall think of the 2014 team? Team wasn't shyt, I'm glad we're making moves. The Markakis move was :patrice:with the injury and all, but I'm glad to see us being proactive and making moves

LF will probably be Gattis :mjlol:

I will never forget being at Game 1 of the 2013 NLDS seeing Gattis diving for a liner he had no shot at which ended up allowing 2 runs in the top half of the 2nd, then getting thrown out trying to retreat to 1st base in the bottom half :mjlol::to:

That man was born to be a DH

Atlanta's talking about trading Gattis too. Hell we might as well just blow it up and start all over. Trade Kimbrel's ass while we're at it, it's not like we're gonna score any runs the next two years anyway.

Truth be told, I wouldn't be opposed to moving Kimbrel...

Look, I understand your disappointment. But, this team WAS NOT WINNING ANYTHING AS THEY WERE CONSTRUCTED. Heyward wasn't going to reach his full potential in this uniform or with Fredi as his manager. Upton wasn't resigning with us. Gattis is better off as a DH. Sure, we won't have a black outfield anymore or some of our most recognizable players, but we're being proactive and making changes. It's better than keeping that same dusty lineup from 2013-14. I'm a fan of all these Atlanta teams, I'm used to rebuilding, reclamation projects, and shytty squads. It's a process breh

Yeah I understand what we're doing. I just hate that we keep getting fukking pitcher after pitcher in these deals. I'm all about getting young talent but we need bats not pitchers.
